The Fracino Contempo CON4E is a 4-group electronic espresso machine built for the highest-volume venues — a hand-built, British-made workhorse finished in gleaming stainless steel that holds its own as a centrepiece in any professional bar, café, or restaurant.
Constructed from premium stainless steel 304, copper, and brass throughout, the Contempo CON4E combines a large-capacity copper boiler with a multi-looped high-powered element to sustain consistent output across all four groups simultaneously. Brass-bodied group heads with stainless steel shower plates and thermosyphonic circulation keep each group at the ideal extraction temperature, while an automatic water level system — with probe, electronic control unit, and solenoid valve — ensures uninterrupted service during peak hours.
The electronic CON4E features four accurately pre-programmed volumetric coffee measures per group, giving baristas speed and consistency without sacrificing quality. Pressure is managed by a triple-contact pressure switch, with water and steam independently regulated by solid brass safety valves.
Standard group clearance is 125mm, with a high-group option of 150mm available for latte glasses — making the CON4E as versatile as it is powerful.
